Chuck \u200dGrassley Blasts Senate Democrats for Prioritizing Climate Change Hearings Over National\u2062 Debt<\/h2>\n<p>During\u200d a Senate\u200d Budget Committee hearing\u200c titled &#8220;Beyond the Breaking Point:\u2063 The\u2064 Fiscal Consequences of Climate Change on Infrastructure,&#8221;\u200d Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) passionately criticized Senate Democrats and the Biden administration for\u2062 their focus on climate change instead of addressing the United \u2064States&#8217; mounting debt.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Our\u2062 nation is over 32 trillion dollars in \u200cdebt, yet this\u200c committee is holding the 11th hearing\u200b on climate\u200d change,&#8221; Grassley exclaimed. He \u2062further \u2064expressed his concern about President Biden&#8217;s economic\u200c performance, highlighting the struggles of everyday Americans who are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/joe-biden-democrats-seek-625-billion-tax-cut-for-wealthy-coastal-elites\/\" title=\"Joe Biden, Democrats Seek 5 Billion Tax Cut for Wealthy Coastal Elites\">facing rising costs<\/a>\u2062 of\u2064 groceries and gasoline. Grassley emphasized \u200dthe urgent need to\u2063 rein in \u200dspending, pointing \u2062out that Democrats have failed to produce a budget for the past two years.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While \u200dacknowledging the importance\u200c of\u2063 discussing climate change, Grassley\u200c highlighted his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/boris-johnson-warns-biden-dont-lose-gains-made-in-afghanistan\/\" title=\"Boris Johnson Warns Biden: Don\u2019t Lose Gains Made in Afghanistan\">long-standing support<\/a> for\u200b renewable\u2062 energy, including\u200d his authorship of the wind energy tax credit. He proudly shared that Iowa \u200brecently achieved\u2063 a significant milestone, with 64% of the state&#8217;s \u2062energy production coming \u2063from wind, \u2062setting a new\u2062 record.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Democrats called this hearing to\u200c discuss the fiscal impact of climate change on infrastructure. I anticipate hearing \u2064costly estimates \u200band alarming anecdotes about the effects of severe \u2062weather events on our\u2064 infrastructure,&#8221; Grassley stated. However, he pointed out that none of the experts present in the room were qualified climate scientists\u200b capable of explicitly attributing those estimates and\u200c anecdotes \u200cto climate\u200d change.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Grassley has been a \u2062vocal opponent of the \u200dBiden \u2062administration on various \u2062issues. He supported\u200d a resolution to revise the &#8220;Waters of\u200c the U.S.&#8221; rule in the Clean Water Act, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/grassley-blasts-democratic-controlled-committee-for-holding-11th-climate-change-hearing\/\" title=\"Grassley slams Dems for 11th climate change hearing.\">determines federal pollution \u2064regulations<\/a> for waterways. Although the resolution passed both chambers of Congress, President Joe Biden vetoed it.<\/p>\n<p>In a significant blow\u2062 to \u2063the\u200d Environmental Protection Agency\u2063 and the Biden administration, the Supreme \u2062Court ruled in favor of landowners \u2063and business groups in Sackett v. \u200dEPA. The\u200d ruling limited federal authority to regulate small bodies of water, such as wetlands, which had been a point \u200cof contention.<\/p>\n<p>Grassley hailed the Supreme Court&#8217;s decision as a &#8220;victory \u2063for farmers, builders, \u2063landowners, and common sense.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to \u2063read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
